Defining Who is Paying
It can be an emotional roller coaster for someone arranging a funeral, as they can often be closely related to the deceased and may still be suffering from bereavement.
Thankfully, most funeral directors are highly skilled in dealing with these difficult circumstances and employ the utmost balance and diplomacy.
However, it is very important to cover the issue of costs and who will be paying.
It may be that the fees have already been considered or agreed, the funds may covered by the Funeral Cover Insurance Plan or a solicitor, or the final costs may be covered by someone who is the anticipated benefactor of the will or probate.
In all cases, it is important to ensure that costs are agreed and payments terms are approved to ensure that the debt collection problems are kept to a minimum.
